DR. VENABLE
ISSUES STATEMENT
He Is Willing To Bear Any
Blame Which Is Justly
His.
HE MENTIONS THE LAW
The Faculty Will Not Try to Unearth
All Past Breaches of the LaA.
I am not onty willing but anx
ious to make clear to the students
the action taken by the faculty
First, because it is important for
them to understand it ana to see
that simple justice has been done,
for without the feeling that the
government is just the attempt
to govern is hopeless. Secondly,
the statement why ; punishment
has been inflicted serves better to
fix in the mind both : punishment
and offense far better than the
annual recounting of the laws
which often falls on heedless
ears. ;
The Univetsity laws forbid
hazing in any form. I am well
aware that student definitions
of hazing differ in varying groups
of students and often widely from
the interpretation of the faculty.
The faculty cannot accept any
other interpretation than their)
own. Hazing in any form is a
oroad phrase ana covers every
thing from physical violence to
any foolish or humiliating per
formance which a gentleman
would not willingly do in public
under ordinary circumstances
The fact that it is done without
resistance and on a simple re
quest has no bearing on the mat
ter. The young stranger may
well believe that resistance would
bring about something still worse.
Again, for many years the law
of the faculty has included a
mong hazers those who aid and
abet by their presence, and
number ot students have in past
years been sent away or suspended
for this: and the reasons seem
good and sufficient to both facul
ty and trustees, for the latter
body has approved this law. In
the first place, it but follows the
law of. the land where a member
of a mob is particeps enminis.
Secondly, it is practically impos
sible to draw an excusing line be
tween those who are gathered
in the room or at the door and
the one or two who may be giv
ingorders. All iend the compelling
orce ot then presence. Just so,
all who go to or enter a room to
get a freshman out or accompany
party to some outlying field,
really aid because their presence
in superior numbers makes resist
ance mule. I think that this
will be perfectly clear to everv
honest, thinking man who knows
anything ot the circumstances
surrounding hazing. The pun
ishment may vary in degree, and
some ot your comrades have
recently been punished under this
aw.

FIRST GAME SATURDAY
Carolina Will Try the Pres
byterians Carolina opens her footdall
season Saturday in Charlotte
against Davidson. This promises
to be an unusually hard game for
the first of the season and it is
unfortunate that no other test of
the players' ability has been
held except scrimmages with the
scrubs. Davidson has always
held her own with Carolina. In
Graham and Richardson she has
two stars who will have to be
watched closely. The rest of the
team is an unknown quanity.
"Coach" Simmons will be the
referee; the other officials have
not been selected.
Prospects for Carolina have
brightened with the addition of
Harkens to the backfield. If he
comes, up to his reputation he
he should add much offensive
strength to the team. Last year
he was the star on Horner and he
has been actively sought after
by several collages.

at Mrs. Fanior's with the follow-
ing players in attendance: Jones,
Dortch, Johnson, Stevens, Everett,
L. Abernathy, Garrison, Huske,

Men All Go
As a result of investigations
by the Faculty started after the
death of I. W. Rand, four students
were dismissed and twelve sus
pended for one year for all differ
ent forms of hazing. Those dis
missed are A. R. Blakney, '12; H.
A. Martin, '15; D. L. McWhorter,
'14; J. L Horton, '14. Those
suspended are J. P. Burke, D. G1
Kelley, R. B. McKnight, I. R.

ors; and J. (Jr. Dickson, J. B.
Hughes, E. Y. Keesler, O. C.
McQuage, W. W. Thomas, A. R.

omores. The Juniors were mm-

occurred last March ' after the
Sophomore Banc uet'; Snmo nf
the Sophomores mentioned above
were punished for participation
in the Rand affair, others for va
rious hazing affairs at the open-
jug; 0f the session,
The news of the punishment of
these students came as a shock to
the community. It was known
that the F'aculty was making a
rigid investigation, but few
dreamed that the punishment
would be wholesale. The fact
that in the eyes of the students
at least, some of those punished
were onlookers, made the news
doubly hard to believe.
It will be recalled that after the
banquet of the present Junior
class, a number of men went
through various buildings look
ing for a Freshman. A crowd
went to one of the cottages just
below Pickard's Hotel and tried
to enter. The Freshmen refused
to come out and barred the door.
Thereupon the crowd tried to
break in, and threw rocks through
the windows. The student coun-
t cil and the Faculty investigated
the matter last year. It was re
garded by many members of the
Faculty as one of the worst things
that has ever haooened here.
Not enough evidence was accu
mulated, however, to punish any
one. When the Rand affair was
being investigated, evidence was
brought to light concerning the
affair of last year. The Faculty
acted upon both at the same time.
Dr. Venable's official report to
the Trustees was made on the
30th in Raleigh. It was a com
plete story of all the hazing done
here this year. The executive
committee of the Trustees de
cided to accept Dr. Venable's re-
port and to uphold the action of
